Umbrella Bar – New Crested Butte Ski Resort Mid Mountain Venue

Umbrella Bar – New Crested Butte Ski Resort Mid Mountain Venue

Crested Butte Mountain Resort (CBMR) has been working to complete the Umbrella Bar – New Crested Butte Ski Resort Mid Mountain Venue for the 2015-2016 ski season. Also referred to as the Ten Peaks location this new facility is located at the top of the Gold Link, Prospect and Painter Boy lifts. This new venue is a much needed addition to the sunny spot on top of this hill with great panoramic views of all the surrounding peaks including Mt. Crested Butte. The estimate for this project is approximately $1 million dollars and will include the bar, a large 2,400 square foot deck and seating area, new restrooms and a new cook cabin. The views, and photos taken from this deck will provide memories for years to come.

Kudos to CBMR for adding this new venue which will also help to spread skiers and ski après throughout the mountain and minimize bottlenecks at peak times at the Paradise Warming Hut, Ice Bar and base area venues.

The Umbrella Bar at Ten Peaks will have glass walls, supporting a 35-foot diameter retractable umbrella roof, and will seat 75 people allowing for great views with great food and drinks.

The kitchen will offer new menu items to include grilled sausages and panini sandwiches, tacos and other gourmet options. Not only can winter sports lovers take advantage of the new mountaintop deck, but the space will be available to rent as a venue year round.

This location will certainly be a favorite for those many second homeowners and guests who are staying in homes with skiing access in the Prospect, Gold Link, Elk Run, Timberland and other adjacent neighborhoods. As well the parents or grandparents wanting to be close to the youth hitting the jumps on the terrain parks on the Gold Link and Painter Boy slopes. Everyone who used the old “outhouse” style restrooms will appreciate the new facilities.

The Umbrella Bar at Ten Peaks will be available for private party rentals year round. This could be a great venue for a rehearsal dinner, off-site meeting evening fun, or other festive event.

So whether you want to stop for a meal, meet friends for an adult beverage, or lounge around enjoying the sunshine this new mid-mountain restaurant and bar should be a great addition. One more reason “Crested Butte is the Last Great Colorado Ski Town”!
